Been there, said that, rinse and repeat. lol But, yeah, they are jumping 
on it as a scape goat, based solely on one tiny bit of a trailer with a 
guy in a wheel chair, and some false extrapolation from it. Basically 
the same as you get every time in cases like this. There isn't much 
point attacking something you *know* is being intentionally offensive, 
apparently, but making up reasons to attack them because they *may be*, 
and you have a huge chip on your shoulder this week... that makes 
perfect sense, apparently.
